Fortune cookies, commonly served after meals at Chinese restaurants in the U.S., are characterized by a fortune, which is written on a small piece of paper tucked inside the cookie. There are several 1 stories about the origin of the fortune cookie. None of them, however, has been proven to be entirely true.

One of these stories 2 the cookie’s origin back to 13th- and 14th-century China, which was then occupied by the Mongols. According to the legend, notes of 3 plans for a revolution to overthrow the Mongols were hidden in mooncakes that would ordinarily have been stuffed with sweet bean paste. The revolution turned out to be 4 and eventually led to the formation of the Ming Dynasty. This story may sound highly credible, but there seems to be no solid evidence that it inspired the creation of the 5 we know of today as fortune cookies.

Another 6 claims that David Jung, a Chinese immigrant living in Los Angeles, created the fortune cookie in 1918. Concerned about the poor people he saw wandering near his shop, he made cookies and passed them out free on the streets. Each cookie 7 a strip of paper inside with an inspirational Bible quotation on it.

However, the more generally accepted story is that the fortune cookie first 8 in either 1907 or 1914 in San Francisco, created by a Japanese immigrant, Makoto Hagiwara. The fortune cookie was based on a Japanese snack, but Hagiwara sweetened the recipe to appeal to American 9 . He enclosed thank-you notes in the cookies and served them to his guests with tea. Within a few years, Chinese restaurant owners in San Francisco had copied the recipe and 10 the thank you notes with fortune notes. Such fortune cookies became common in Chinese restaurants in the U.S. after World War II.

There's a fun game I like to play in a group of trusted friends called "Controversial Opinion". The rules are simple: Don't talk about what was shared during Controversial Opinion afterward and you aren't allowed to "argue"--only to ask questions about why that person feels that way. Opinions can range from "I think James Bond movies are overrated'' to "I think Donald Trump would make an excellent president". Usually, someone responds to an opinion with, "'Oh my god! I had no idea you were one of those people!' Which is really another way of saying "'I thought you were on my team!'' In psychology, the idea that everyone is like us is called the "'false-consensus bias". This bias often manifests itself when we see in politics or polls.
Online it means we can be blindsided by the opinions of our friends. Over time, this morphs into a subconscious belief that we and our friends are the sane ones and that there's a crazy 'Other Side" that must be laughed at---an Other Side that just doesn't "get it", and is clearly not as intelligent as "us". But this holier-than-thou social media behavior is counterproductive, it's self-aggrandizement at the cost of actual nuanced discourse and if we want to consider online discourse productive, we need to move past this.
What is emerging is the worst kind of echo chamber, one where those inside are increasingly convinced that everyone shares their world view, that their ranks are growing when they aren't. It's like clockwork: an event happens and then your social media circle is shocked when a non-social media peer group public reacts to news in an unexpected way. They then mock the Other Side for being " out of touch" or "dumb".
【題組】40. What does it mean to be blindsided by the opinions of our friends?
(A) Defending our friends' opinions forcefully.
(B) Not paying attention to our friends' opinions.
(C) Adopting our friends' opinions without independent and critical thinking.
(D) Trying to persuade our friends to adopt our opinions.

第一篇：
Although the stock market has the reputation of being a risky investment, it did not appear that way in the 1920s. With the country in an exuberant mood, the stock market seemed an infallible investment in the future. As more people invested in the stock market, stock prices began to rise. This was first noticeable in 1925. Stock prices then bobbed up and down throughout 1925 and 1926, followed by a “bull market,” a strong upward trend, in 1927. The strong bull market enticed even more people to invest. By 1928, a stock market boom had begun.

The stock market boom changed the way investors viewed the stock market. No longer was the stock market only for long-term investment. Rather, in 1928, the stock market had become a place where everyday people truly believed that they could become rich. Interest in the stock market reached a fevered pitch. Stocks had become the talk of every town. Discussions about stocks could be heard everywhere, from parties to barbershops. As newspapers reported stories of ordinary people, like chauffeurs, maids, and teachers, making millions off the stock market, the fervor to buy stocks grew exponentially.

An increasing number of people wanted to buy stocks, but not everyone had the money to do so. When someone did not have the money to pay the full price of stocks, they could buy stocks "on margin." Buying stocks on margin means that the buyer would put down some of his own money, but the rest he would borrow from a broker. In the 1920s, the buyer only had to put down 10–20% of his own money and thus borrowed 80–90% of the cost of the stock.

Buying on margin could be very risky. If the price of stock fell lower than the loan amount, the broker would likely issue a “margin call,” which means the buyer must come up with the cash to pay back his loan immediately.

In the 1920s, many speculators (people who hoped to make a lot of money on the stock market) bought stocks on margin. Confident in what seemed a never-ending rise in prices, many of these speculators neglected to seriously consider the risk they were taking.

【題組】34. What was the benefit of buying stocks on margin in the 1920s?
(A) The investors could borrow up to 90% of the cost of the stocks from a broker to buy them.
(B) The investors could easily make a lot of money out of their investment.
(C) The investors only needed to prepare 80% of the cash to buy stocks.
(D) The investments could be made through the brokers and the profits were guaranteed.
